The Land of Melting Shadows: October Goodness

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

I was quite a lucky person in October. I had several wonderful items fly my way.

The first was a wonderful Witch Doll (made from a tassel) that I won in a giveaway hosted by Patrick of Cre8ors Touch in a workshop group on The Hive. Isn't she fun? Patrick is most inventive. To visit his blog, Click here!

Then I won a sweet giveaway hosted by Bab at Pin-Feathers. I received a bottle of Gardenia perfume by Elizabeth Taylor along with a few small bottles of Designer Scents which Bab makes herself! WONDERFUL!! Hop on over to her blog to enter this month's giveaway for a Poetry Doll. Click here!

More witches were in my future...My very dear friend, Cindi, gave me this trio. they are actually keychains but I think they will look good hanging from next year's Halloween Tree!

And speaking of ornaments for the Halloween Tree.... The next surprise came my way from The Haunted Swamp! Lynda of Haunted Swamp Designs hosted a giveaway for three creepily cool gourd ornies. Aren't they GREAT!? Blop on over to her blog to see what other lovelies she creates! Click here!

And the BESTEST surprise of all was a lovely turquoise and silver spider which my sister Becky sent me! Thank You!
